Remote Access via FTP Server
You can access your USB disk outside the local area network.
For example:
• Share photos and other large files with your friends without logging in to (and paying
for) a photo-sharing site or email system.
• Get a safe backup for the materials for a presentation.
• Remove the files on your camera's memory card from time to time during the journey.
Note:
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), you cannot use this feature because
private addresses are not routed on the Internet.

If the USB storage device requires using bundled external power, make sure the external power has been
